I think he was in earnest, scat fetishist, somewhat in the Hucker mould, all I recall.
It would explain the terse, acid-casualty dribbles-of-consciousness posts, but no idea.
Ah yes, Mister CRoss. King of the tight-fisted cunts 
Same. I felt many were true, some were probably more to do with getting Reality and Thoughts mixed up sometimes… He sounded pretty isolated in a number of senses, and around the time his ?grandad? died I worried he might do something dumb. Glad he didn’t.
For some reason, I always thought he was Henry Rollins pissing about 
Although mentioned upthread - has anyone kept in touch with Lionel / Testure? Lovely bloke, but seemed to vanish from all the forums at the same time.
Is Dave (subs are for wimps) Whitter still around?
I am aware he had serious health issues but he did resurface somewhere online (can’t remember where)
I’m convinced he was trolling the wam, his posts on pfm were pretty normal, occasionally did/that/shit/in/his/posts/there/though
He has posted on here fairly recently I think
Oh wow, I didn’t see that
Who was it who hijacked the wam site years ago when tuffbob instigated the swearing shutdown? Vaguely remember rumours it was tricky dicky dunn
Still see the odd thing from him on Facebook, seems to be doing alright.
I got on really well with Teddy Ray - yes definitely a very fucking complicated character, but with some serious intelligence floating around, and yes an absolutely lovely singing voice.
Remember you posting about that, didn’t you do a runner in the end?
A ‘our reporter made his excuses and left the establishment” thing
Missed this post, but I totally remember that happening, I had a few spats with the twat, but mostly remember your story about him inviting his mates around to a BBQ(?) when you were there and them saying wogs wasn’t a racist term because of the gentleman bit…

No I think I am wrong I saw a post from dwhistance, misread it put 2 and 2 together and got 5
Haven’t seen Tones around in a lomg time, this place probably wasn’t for him but he seemed to drop off the forums.
We went to a bar near his house before we went there, might have been something one of the other folk there said. At his place it was just me, him and his wife.
He posts on pfm quite a lot
Pampas grass in the front garden?
I managed to get in touch with Davewit a few years ago - pre-COVID - and he was still very much the same-old Dave, and doing pretty well. Might even have been on one of the wristwatch forums.
As for Tones, we still email one-another from time-to-time, he’s still in Switzerland, still working on patents about 20 years after he was supposed to have retired. Aside from a health scare for his Mrs (who’s fine now), he’s doing well. One of his daughters is an airline pilot and (iirc) the other’s doing something at CERN.
Then he slagged you off on the forum for being hung over and obese, iirc?
Tones still posts on PFM about watches, from time to time.
